Houghton College and Campus Form Innovative Partnership
Houghton College is elevating its commitment to provide a student-friendly, easily navigable online learning platform for both fully online learners and onsite students in Buffalo and Houghton, NY. To that end, the College will adopt Campus EDU’s online learning platform.
While both systems are built on Moodle, the Campus EDU platform will improve the student experience by providing access to a more efficient and robust layout that is based on industry best practices that combine visual appeal with comprehensive learning management. Using a staged approach to the implementation, Houghton will ultimately transition all online coursework to the Campus EDU platform.
“Most of my career in higher education has included some work in online and hybrid learning. The pace of change is rapid, and Houghton’s students expect and deserve a seamless, high-quality online learning experience. We are rising to meet that challenge,” said Houghton College President, Dr. Wayne D. Lewis, Jr. “High-quality online learning is not simply copying and pasting in-person content into an online platform. It is an intentionally designed online learning experience that makes content accessible in new and exciting ways for students, including non-traditional students who need flexibility. Houghton’s partnership with Campus empowers us to raise the bar and provide more flexible options for learners while controlling costs.”
This strategic partnership will empower Houghton College to accelerate the development of the online learning platform, ensuring that course content is accessible to all students, and continue the institutional mission of providing an academically challenging, Christ-centered education in the liberal arts and sciences to students from diverse traditions and economic backgrounds and equipping them to lead and labor as scholar-servants in a changing world.
